The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is like a wash.

The endless sea and blue sky are connected in a line in the distant sky.

"The sea is at the end, and the sky is the shore".

Looking at such a vast ocean, Long Qingyun suddenly felt open-minded and comfortable, and a majestic air surged in his chest:

"The knower is reasonable and does not stagnate around, similar to water, so he is happy with water. ”

The happiness of this wise man is as leisurely and lively as this vast sea. No wonder Confucius had the emotion of "the benevolent man enjoys the mountain, and the wise man enjoys the water"!

Although the trip was extremely dangerous and difficult.

At this time, seeing the rippling sea, my heart is optimistic and open-minded.

A cup of tea.

I saw Zhoushan Island floating in the middle of the sea.

The island is full of peaks and mountains, beautiful mountains and rivers, lush trees, and different reefs on the shore.

Looking from afar, it looks like a vast landscape painting, which is pleasing to the eye and relaxing.

Zhoushan Island is getting closer.

Long Qingyun walked away and saw that at the top of the first mountain peak in the east, there were rare figures crowded.

"Senior Chu, I'll take a step forward and go around to the back, you go up the mountain from the front, and after a stick of incense, we will attack from both sides!"

There was still some distance from the shore, and Long Qingyun had just finished speaking, his right foot stepped on the board of the boat, jumped up, and flew towards the island like a big peng.

The first mountain in the east of Zhoushan Island, among the mountains with mountains and mountains, the terrain is the shortest, and it belongs to the first peak facing the east.

The sun rises in the east, the morning dawn dews, and the first morning glow descends on this peak, so it is named Chaoxia Peak.

At this time, on the top of Chaoxia Peak, in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, more than 30 men in purple clothes were hidden behind mounds of dirt, stones, and trees, holding bows and crossbows, waiting for the battle, their eyes were blazing, and their bodies exuded a fierce atmosphere.

On everyone's left chest, the word "Cui" is clearly visible, which is obviously the Cui Bao Zhai gang.

In the crowd, two heroic purple figures shuttled between them, sometimes pointing at the distance, sometimes pointing at the close. It seems to be giving orders and directing the battle.

These two are Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen, one of the famous "Four Leopards of Cuibaozhai", who are younger than the "Four Tigers of Cuibaozhai", but their martial arts are higher than the latter.

The "Four Tigers" are responsible for housekeeping and are good at meticulous and delicate counter work, while the "Four Leopards of Cuibao Zhai" are responsible for external affairs and are known for their boldness and alertness.

Therefore, in the process of escorting, dealing with the green forest and pirates, the "Four Leopards of Cui Bao Zhai" are in charge, and Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen are responsible for the Mingzhou Port branch of Cui Bao Zhai.

Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen, who have been dealing with green forests and pirates all the year round, have experienced a hundred battles, and have explored a set of methods and skills for marching and arranging the enemy.

The merchant escort team, relying on the strong bows and crossbows in their hands, stubbornly blocked the enemy under the peak of the morning glow.

Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen are not chaotic in the face of danger, the dispatch is good, and after retreating to the top, they can also fly pigeons to send a message for help to Zhan Aoshuang, this calmness and calmness are also the skills that have been tempered after a long battle.

Quan Shijie has a big waist and a round waist, a burly and sturdy body, a wide nose and a square face, quite heroic.

Ye Bingchen is slightly chubby, medium in stature, white and beardless, just past the year of standing, with a Qingmang sword in his hand, there are few opponents in the Mingzhou Port branch of Cui Bao Zhai, and his kung fu is above Quan Shijie.

Yesterday afternoon, the two escorted four merchant ships from Nanyang to China, loaded with spices and jewelry.

As soon as they arrived at Zhoushan Island, more than 20 small boats hiding in the shadows pounced, and the two of them saw that the situation was not good, and thought that Chaoxia Peak was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then he fought and retreated, and retreated to the top of this Chaoxia Peak.

Attacking the Cui Bao Zhai caravan was the warriors of the Donghan Army, and their combat effectiveness was extremely fierce. The leader of the team is Donghan Thousand Commander Sobaru, this person has been training in the field for many years, and his methods are ruthless and resolute, and the Cuibaozhai caravan has suffered heavy losses, losing more than ten brothers.

Cui Bao Zhai caravan, if it were not for this steep terrain as a barrier, condescending, and the long-distance deterrence of strong bows and crossbows, I am afraid that the whole army would have been wiped out.

The Nanyong crossbow can be shot from a long distance and is extremely powerful.

Although the Donghan troops are brave and good at fighting, they are also quite afraid of the power of Nanyong's bow and crossbow shooting.

At this time, Nanyong was surrounded by Donghan, Beiqi, and Xiqiang, all of which were brave and warlike horseback peoples.

The Central Plains Dynasty originally had a strong cavalry team. For example, Huo Quai, a famous general in the strong Han period, led Xiao to ride across the desert and won the eternal reputation of "sealing the wolf and drinking the horse Hanhai".

During the Nanyong period, the "land of Yan Zhao", which was rich in war horses, was swallowed by Donghan and Northern Khitan, and the Western Regions fell into the hands of Xiqiang.

In order to deal with the invasion of the surrounding horseback peoples, Nanyong, who lost the horse-producing base, had to improve the level of bow and crossbow production to achieve the effect of "riding with arrows".

During the long years of war with the surrounding horseback peoples, Nanyong's technique of making bows and crossbows became more and more perfect and mature.

The crossbow is more advanced than the traditional bow and arrow in that it can accumulate energy, and at the moment it is fired, this energy becomes power, and it is fired at the enemy with invincible penetration.

At this time, Nanyong was the peak of the development of the bow and crossbow, and the strength of the bow and arrow it shot was so strong that Sobalu, who had been in the field for a long time, had a deep experience.

When the two armies faced each other, the bow and crossbow were the most important weapons, and there was such a saying in the Nanyong military circles at this time:

"There are six out of thirty weapons, and the bow is the head, and there are eight out of ten in martial arts, and the bow is the first. ”

It can be seen how important the status of the bow and crossbow is when the two armies are facing each other. During the Dayong period, after the bow and crossbow were improved, the strength of the bow increased, so the power of the launch was also greater, the longer the range, and the more powerful the lethality.

According to the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", there is a super bow and crossbow called the "Three Bows and Eight Cow Beds Crossbow", which is not only huge, but also huge.

It is said that during the Yong period, the Khitan invaded Yong in the south, and the attitude was extremely arrogant and domineering, and the Yongjun army was furious, and transferred the "three bows and eight ox beds crossbow", which was transported to the front of the two armies, twisted the string and moved the crossbow, and an arrow broke through the air, and directly shot the Khitan general Xiao Tzu Rin under the horse.

The Khitan court was shaken, so it signed the "Tanyuan Alliance" with Dayong, and the two countries lived peacefully for a hundred years. It can be seen how powerful the bow and crossbow are, and a bow and crossbow laid a hundred years of peace between the two countries.

Since then, archery-making workshops have risen, and the Nanyong army has begun to pay attention to the training of crossbowmen.

Therefore, the subordinates of the folk caretaker also began to rise with bow and crossbow guards.

As the largest merchant in Nanyong's maritime trade, Cui Bao Zhai has business all over the world, often traveling on the sea, of course, the escort of the bow and crossbow guards.

Therefore, the battle-hardened Cui Bao Zhai Escort Team has a combat effectiveness that cannot be underestimated, and it is very strong.

At this time, Chaoxia Peak, near the top of the mountain, was surrounded by men in black clothes, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife and sword in his right hand.

There were hundreds of people in a dense crowd.

The leader was a gray-robed Donghan commander Sobaru, a short sword of cold iron, held high above the top.

His face was scorching with murderous intent.

"Kill ......"
